Murder, Sex and Censorship (and Why You Should Care)

In the last year, over a dozen bills targeting video games were put before state Assemblies and Senates throughout America. In other countries, video games were banned outright. Legislators seek to control their sale and their distribution while big box retailers indirectly influence their content. And all this before Hot Coffee.

If you make or play video games, this meeting is a must for you. Find out:
